I was on mobile so I missed a few things if he wants to go the engine rebuild route, since you'll have it down you'll want new lifters and cam guides, you'll want to have a machine shop check the head out if you smacked a valve and you'll likely need at least one new piston. Unless you have time and tools at your disposal I strongly recommend going with the LDK.
Also either route you go I recommend you replace the clutch, flywheel, TOB, etc since you'll have it torn apart already.
Side note I'm selling a TR8 intercooler kit, PM me and i'll send pics.
When you add the cost up for the parts youre damn close to a new LDK.

might want to add valve guides and seals. the valve seats might need a little work too. a machine shop will tell you what needs fixin'. might just want to buy a rebuilt head.
before tearing it apart, might want to pop the valve cover off and loosen all the cam caps until there's no tension on them. the valve springs will push the cams up which will close all the valves. then I've taken a compression tester, removed the little valve in the end with some needle nose pliers. they are usually threaded in there and come out easily. once that valve is removed I thread the compression tester hose into the spark plug hole. oh, first remove the spark plugs. once the hose is threaded in, take an air compressor line and connect it to the compression tester hose. wherever you hear or feel air coming out of is where the problem is. if it's coming out of the intake, bent intake valves. coming out the exhaust, bent exhaust valves. coming out of the PCV line, rings/piston.
